The Unlucky Ci Tie!
Ji Meng told the others about it, just in case any fools fell into the trap.
"Um!"
The other four Demon Saint nodded in agreement with Ji Meng's words.
After returning to the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Fuxi did not hold a meeting immediately, but instead chose to recuperate in their respective dojos.
They waited until Bai Chen's injuries had almost healed before daring to come to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to gather their forces for a meeting.
Regarding being beaten by Bai Chen, Di Jun and Fuxi reached a consensus to keep quiet about it.
There was no way around it; being beaten up by Bai Chen even when outnumbered two to one was too humiliating to admit!
"You must quickly muster your troops and prepare to attack the Witch Clan Witch Clan. By containing them head-on, you can then slaughter them from the side."
"..."
After all the high-ranking members of the demon race had arrived, Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor, began to make arrangements.
The human race's territory is in the Yellow River Basin, not far from the territory of the Witch Clan. If the demon race wants to slaughter humans, it is basically impossible without directly restraining the Witch Clan.
Just as Di Jun was arranging the battle plan, Kunpeng and the other six stepped forward and stated:
"Heavenly Emperor, we have discussed this. Your army suffered heavy losses last time, so this time our army will be responsible for confronting the Witch Clan head-on."
As for the massacre, we will not participate!
Because of Bai Chen's telepathic message, Kunpeng and the others guessed that the demon race's massacre of humans was a setup, which is why they didn't want to get involved.
"Kunpeng, Ji Meng, what are you six plotting?"
Di Jun turned his gaze to the six Kunpeng. Based on his understanding of Kunpeng, these six cowardly individuals had actually chosen to bite the tough nut of the Witch Clan. He immediately sensed that something was very wrong here!
"Heavenly Emperor, we cannot afford to lose face like this!"
"Of course, the main reason is that we're afraid of being scammed by you."
Ji Meng knew that Di Jun would be suspicious, so he played his cards openly.
"Okay, okay!"
Ji Meng, the Di Jun, said "good" three times in a row, then said coldly:
"Since your army is unwilling to slaughter people and bear the infamy, then do as you request. I will arrange for other personnel to carry it out."
Di Jun was also furious. These six cowards didn't trust him, and he didn't trust them either?
In fact, Di Jun never intended for Kunpeng and the others to slaughter people in the first place, but he didn't trust these six lackeys and was afraid they would cause trouble.
"Kunpeng, Ji Meng, if you dare to withdraw your troops halfway through this mission to contain the Witch Clan, I will kill all six of you first."
Because Kunpeng and his group had deserted and betrayed their teammates, Di Jun made these harsh remarks this time.
"Heavenly Emperor, whether we retreat or not is up to you."
"If you were to use the Primordial Chaos Luo Great Array to deal with Pangu True Body again, you'd be courting death. We would definitely have to make a strategic retreat to preserve the remaining strength of the demon race."
Kunpeng Ji Meng, still quite assertive, retorted with a sarcastic remark to Di Jun.
They have powerful backers and an army under their command; it would be foolish not to stand up for themselves!
Compared to the dissatisfaction of others with the six Kunpeng, Fuxi frowned deeply.
The strange behavior of the six Kunpeng made Fuxi suspect that they knew about his falsely claiming Kunpeng 'Nuwa Imperial Decree.
However, Fuxi thought that this matter would be exposed after the demon race slaughtered humans, and since Kunpeng and the others had not brought it up yet, Fuxi did not express his opinion.
Di Jun clenched his fists tightly, enraged by Kunpeng's six fists, and roared:
"Don't worry, I'll handle things with Xihe. The Great Zhou Celestial Array won't have the same problems as last time."
Di Jun was angry, but he also knew that it wasn't just Kunpeng and the other six who cared about the Great Zhou Celestial Array; everyone else on his side was also concerned.
After all, the Primordial Chaos Luo Great Array could not withstand the Pangu True Body; this is an indisputable fact.
Since Di Jun had given such a guarantee, no one present said anything more.
After the meeting at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall ended, when Di Jun and his brother, along with the strategist Bai Ze, found Xihe Xihe, she was instructing Lu Ya in cultivation.
Di Jun gave his younger brother Eastern Emperor Taiyi, a wink, and Donghuang Taiyi immediately understood.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi Lu Ya; the uncle and nephew shouldn't get in the way.
"Xihe, you will be accompanying the army on this expedition."
Di Jun's words were very direct, even though he had already backed down.
But what happened back then is a thorn in his side, not something that can be easily removed.
"Di Jun, I can continue to assist you and help you set up the Great Zhou Celestial Array, but I have one condition."
Ever since the demon race suffered a major defeat, Xihe had been waiting for Di Jun to come and beg her for help.
Having waited so long, the opportunity had finally arrived, Xihe naturally had to state her conditions.
"What are the conditions?"
Di Jun was very dissatisfied that Xihe He dared to make demands of him.
However, for the sake of the demon race's grand plan, Di Jun felt that he could accept any conditions as long as they weren't too unreasonable.
"Di Jun, I want you to swear that you will completely forgive and forget everything that happened before, and that we, as husband and wife, will return to our former state, living in harmony and mutual respect."
Xihe stated her conditions, knowing that she was taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
But since she was only trying to save her marriage, she can't be blamed.
"You~"
Upon hearing Xihe's conditions, Di Jun was about to reprimand her for pushing Xihe luck when Bai Ze interrupted him, advising:
"Your Heavenly Emperor, while the Empress was at fault, she was also a victim. The whole thing shouldn't be blamed on Empress. Please be more magnanimous."
"After all, your marriage to the Heavenly Marriage is ordained by Empress. Your destiny is Great Dao's Destiny, and surely the Great Dao would not want you two to be discordant!"
Chapter 421 The Wronged Seed Ci Tie!
Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, Xihe felt that what Bai Ze said made a lot of sense, after all, she Xihe, was also a victim!
Di Jun: You, Xihe, are the victim, but am I Di Jun, not a victim, but the perpetrator?
We're all victims, so why should I, the victim, forgive you, the victim?
After Bai Ze saw through Di Jun's thoughts, he could only send a telepathic reminder.
"Very well, I, the Emperor, swear an oath!"
"By the Great Dao above, I Di Jun, hereby swear..."
For the sake of the demon race's grand plan and to achieve sainthood, Di Jun had no choice but to swear an oath to keep wearing this green hat.
Since the hat is on your head, you can't see what color it is anyway.
With Xihe's situation settled, everything else is basically done.
On the Heavenly Court's reviewing platform, Di Jun looked at the fully equipped demon army with great satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the Demon Saint Ci Tie.
"Ci Tie, you were the most seriously injured last time. You shouldn't get involved in directly restraining the Witch Clan."
"I'll leave the task of attacking the human race to gather materials for forging the Witch-Slaying Sword to you!"
"As for the Witch Clan, rest assured, I will lead the army to contain them with all my might."
Di Jun planned to entrust the task of the demon race's slaughter of humans to the Demon Saint Ci Tie.
Di Jun doesn't have many people he can use anymore. Fei Dan, Gui Che, and Jiu Ying are all opportunists, and Di Jun doesn't trust them.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Bai Ze each had their own responsibilities, so Di Jun could only entrust the task of attacking the human race to the Demon Saint Ci Tie.
Attacking the human race was an easy task, Di Jun felt that assigning it to the Demon Saint Ci Tie was a way of rewarding him for his valiant fight last time.
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"
Demon Saint Ci Tie gladly accepted the task and thanked Di Jun.
Ci Tie felt that compared to fighting the Witch Clan head-on, attacking the Human Clan was too easy; it was just a matter of racking up merits.
"Ci Tie, remember not to Three Ancestors of the Human Race. Leave the human race with 30% chance of survival."
Fuxi, seeing the delighted Demon Saint Ci Tie, offered a word of advice.
Fuxi feared that if he didn't warn him, the foolish Demon Saint Ci Tie might accidentally go too far and wipe out the entire human race.
If humanity is wiped out, how will I explain it to Nuwa? What will I do if Taiqing Laozi) holds me accountable?
"Rest assured, Your Xi Huang, I know what I'm doing."
The Demon Saint Ci Tie was speechless. He wasn't stupid. Even without Fuxi's reminder, he wouldn't dare to exterminate the human race.
The six Kunpeng really thought that the Demon Saint Ci Tie was a fool, that he had been tricked into becoming a fool by Fuxi.
Fuxi falsely claimed to be acting on Nuwa's Imperial Decree. Nuwa did not agree to the demon race attacking the human race, Demon Saint Ci Tie attacked the human race. When Bai Chen finally closed in, one can imagine what fate befell him.
"Heavenly Emperor, Ci Tie's injuries from last time were too severe. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, why don't you send Good Corpse with Ci Tie?"
Bai Ze offered a few suggestions to Di Jun, because the matter of the demon race slaughtering humans was too important, and Bai Ze really didn't trust Ci Tie to handle it alone.
"Bai Ze, even with my injuries not fully healed, is more than enough to deal with a mere human."
Demon Saint Ci Tie felt slighted. Based on his knowledge, the human race had no Quasi-Saint, and their strongest members were nothing more than a few Daluo Golden Immortal.
As a powerful Ci Tie Innate Divine Beast, dealing with a human would be a piece of cake for him.
Bai Ze ignored the Demon Saint Ci Tie and instead turned his gaze to Di Jun, offering his advice:
"Heavenly Emperor, attacking the human race is related to the demon race's forging of the Witch-Slaying Sword; this is the only chance we have."
If they fail, the Witch Clan will surely become more cautious, and if the demon tribe slaughters people again, Empress Nuwa and the Saint Taiqing may not agree to it in the future."
Bai Ze knew very well that if the demon race's attack on the human race went wrong this time, they would basically never have the opportunity to attack the human race again.
